{As defined by|According to} Broom{, the welfare of| The welfare of| the term “welfare” means that| the concept of welfare by Broom, the wellbeing of} an individual {is its state|refers to its condition|is the state it has|is his or her state} {as regards its attempts|in relation to its efforts|with regard to how it attempts|when it comes to the way in which it attempts} to
